  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7lOK7W04V8 [h1]First 3D Brawler on PC[/h1] For long time developers had oppoturnity to create a great 3D Brawler for PC, yet years have passed and no one really gave a shot at it (We had obviously have 2D ones tho) and i'm really glad that Angry Mob Games decided to give a shot at it. Brawlout is really fun, smooth, well optimized and clean looking Brawler game, similar to Smash and Playstation battle royale. Keep in mind its still in "BETA" so lot of features are not there yet like Single-Player campaign or vast collection of characters, modes and stages (they are likely to come soon however). The price is not steep so i recommend picking the game out with a friend or two and have some fun on the arena.

  I do like the game, and I do think it has potential, but i wouldn't really reccomend it until it's complete, feels very bare bones for a $20 purchase.

  Liking the game so far, low skill floor so awesome for newer people at fighting games, doesn't seem like theres too high of a skill ceiling atm, but there is apparently more tech on its way. biggest con so far is definitely the player base. But you can find people to play against in the discord! Theres also weekly tournaments which is super nice if you're looking for a competitive fix

  (TL:DR at bottom) Brawlout is a platform fighter game that appears to be strongly influenced by games like smash bros and brawlhalla. There are a few things I thought were pretty cool about the game, the graphics look really nice and seem to be really well optimized as my pc could run the game on max setting at about 400-600 fps the whole time. The character design is pretty interesting too with strongly cohesive kits that fit stick to and make use of the characters look to create an imersive fighter. However there are many more things about this game that just didnt make it stick for me and made me want to stop playing. First the player base is very small taking around 5 to 10 minutes just to find a short 3ish minute match, this is not something that is really the developers fault and may improve over time but as of now online play just doesnt seem that fun because it takes twice as long to find a match as it does to play one. Next in single player vs cpu there are no differences in difficulties to my knowledge making it so once you've mastered beating the cpus it is no longer challenging and as I said with the queue times earlier its not even very worth it to switch to online multiplayer. Third, their are very few character (which is expected mostly of early access) but they claim that they plan to add two or three more by release, that will total in around 10 characters. Arguably that could be enough for I fighting game since games like lethal league thrive with only 6, but the magnitude of competetive play this strives for versus lethal league is very different as lethal league is meant to be a much simpler game at its core. The amount of characters put into this game doesnt even take much time to learn them all. Once again without higher cpu difficulty levels and with sluggish online play I believe this game would benefit greatly from at least having more characters game like smash start you out with around 30 characters to play allowing for much better replayability as you learn to master all of the different character and playstyles. Further more and this may be purely my personal opinion but the movement in this game feels a little clunky whether with controller or keyboard the characters feel rather unresponsive often resulting in a move executing to late, not at all, or the wrong move happening. Lastly another personal opinion is I dont care for the way abilities chain, it feels like there are to many true combos in this game with no frames for recovery in between with these inescapable combos and nearly map wide moves like those seen on king apu and gancho puncho the gameplay seems kindof broken and slightly unfit for competitve play. I very well might try this game again in the future once its out of early access but as for now I do not think this game is worth playing as what it does games like smash and brawlhalla still do better and with higher player bases. Good luck to the development team, I'll be back. TLDR: Character design and game optimization are solid, but between clunky gameplay, broken abilities and combos, lack of depth to cpu fights, and low playerbase game is not worth in its current state.

  I am a Smash 4 player (1500+ hours on my console alone) who always wanted to get into melee but the lack of updated control schemes, and melee skill ceiling always detured me. It would take a couple page article to explain every detail and how it compares but trust me when I say this is a very good game with loads of potential. Pros: -Graphics are beautiful. Animations are fluid and crisp. It really does look like a fun game I could play casually with friends. -Gameplay is fast. No landing lag so no need to L-cancel. When you are in advantage state it's easier to stay there than in Smash 4. Disadvantage state feels fair due to the rage mechanic (google it). -Characters, while few, are fun to play and have a personality to them. Nothing like Overwatch levels of personality but they feel more dimensional than Rivals of Aether fighters. -Dev team is extremely responsive and receptive. Join the discord channtel and you will have an opportunity to shape the game. Devs really do care about the game and want to listen so make your voice heard! Cons: -Not a whole lot of people online at the moment. If you want to find a match hop into the discord server and ask someone to play. I think everyone goes online, doesn't get matched for 10+ minutes, and then goes back to melee/smash4/brawlhalla/RoA... etc. Once the community grows it will be fine. -This game is $20. It will most likely go F2P with loot boxes but at this time you gotta shell out some cash. I personally would have spent more money (no doubt price will increase on full release and on Switch). Angry Mob's take on platform fighters isn't necessarily the ''smash killer'' or innovative enough to push the genre forward. However, what Angry Mob does have is a well thought out and executed gem which checks all the right boxes. Edits: spelling and such

  I liked this game initially, and after about 5 hours it dawned on me that I was playing a clunky mess. The game seems pretty fun from the videos and trailers, but in actual gameplay, everything is painful to use and do. Animations are all over the place and matchmaking is essentially dead half the time. $20 is absolutely too much. If it was free? Maybe worth a shot. Pros: Fun Characters and Movesets Great Concept for Movement Options The Stages are super unique and fun to play on. Cons: Terrible Excecution for those Movement Options Everything looks incredibly clunky and slow. Everything FEELS incredibly clunky and slow to use. $20 was a huge waste and I want a refund badly. Apparently this game might go free to play, and if it does, 1. That is the best course of action for this game's development. 2. It would be the biggest slap in the face to everyone who bought the game and didn't enjoy it. If you are looking for a smash game, stay clear of this mess. Download Dolphin and play melee or PM. Want a smash clone? Play Brawlhalla or Rivals of Aether. Even with their flaws, they are still polished and fun games in their own respects. And I can tell what I'm looking at. Which is always nice. solid 3/10

  You have to play online to unlock the characters. there's no playerbase on pc. which meant I had to wait 35 minutes for one game. don't buy.

  What a giant disappointment. I was early access, I put money into it before it was a full release and the switch gets the full version first?. (which by the way isnt finished either, see below*) How insulting to the playerbase that supported it and because of that no one plays this, so expect the online mode to be a joke. I want to critique this game for what it really offers but its 1/13/18, the full switch release was 12/19/17. They barely updated it to Ver.0.92, yeah, woo hoo. So I can already expect that the PC version of this game is going to be treated like the ugly stepchild. New* 1/27/18 Thought I would critique what is there, since I can assume this is what I am going to get. Brawlout is a mediocre clone of Super Smash Bros Brawl. It feels mostly loose and less refined than its accomplished source material. It has no content other than online and a training mode, which there is no playerbase so all it actually has is training. The characters are boring. No reason to nit-pick though because that is all there is to say about this game, that it is a mediocre clone. Yet, this is a pretty game. I can only assume there was love for the project at some point. Sadly that is all I can do with this game, assume. New* So both games are unfinished Originally posted by >:3 Robo_Leader, DEV / MOD of discussions hub [Originally posted by TheLightningYu: Actually that's something which i don't understand as well. Switch-Version seems to be finished, yet on PC there isn't the Game out yet? Kinda strange. I mean i would've understand it if i look at Games like Monster Hunter World, which are purely PS4 Leadplattform and they have to begin the development for PC yet due they want an proper Port... but Brawlhalla is already in development for PC and yet they can't push out 1.0... while Switch Version which clearly is a port is already finished...] A lot has to be re-written from the ground up to support both platforms simultaneously going forward. The PC version relies on Steamworks for leaderboards, matchmaking and other things that have to be re-written for the Switch (The Switch version is currently missing these features). Likewise, a lot of features that were written for the Switch version of the game need to be brought over to the PC version, such as the progression system. Changes that don't involve these rewrites are being brought to each platform in the meantime, which is why the PC version is currently ahead in gameplay and balance tweaks. The team is not forgetting about PC, 1.0 is still on the way. My response ["(The Switch version is currently missing these features)." Sooo, the PC version is "currently ahead in gameplay and balance tweaks."? and the switch port has all the fun stuff that matters? To be frank, I think you guys should of made a finished version of the game/product FIRST before trying to port it to another console. I think it is a really poor excuse and even more insulting of an answer to why we don't have 1.0.] Wow, thanks

  [h1]TL;DR[/h1] Even though it's better than Icons: Combat Arena, this is not a great game or a bad game. It's average, you might have a lot of fun with this game.... If you're drunk [h1]Introduction[/h1] Continuing my Super Smash Bros. clone adventures (if you haven't read my review for my previous super smash clone I reviewed, be sure to check it out [url=https://steamcommunity.com]here[/url]) I decided to take a look at Brawlout because I remembered a user who's good friends with a friend of mine helped out on this game as a creative writer. I wanted to take a look at Brawlout to see what the fuss is all about, so let's take a look and see if this game is any better than OR worse than Icons: Combat Arena. [h1]Characters[/h1] Character roster is a mixed bag, I'll start off by saying that the characters are AT LEAST original, at least they're not clones from any of the Super Smash Bros games. If you saw Icons: Combat Arena, you'll know that few of the characters were copied from Super Smash Bros. melee. The roster also has three 3rd party characters from indie games such as The Drifter from Hyper Light Drifter, Juan from Guacamelee and out of nowhere Yooka-Laylee. The roster also has "Character Variations" sorta like variations in Mortal Kombat X but only they different characters, for example Paco (or as I like to call him "General Pepe the Frog Grievous") has two variations, one that looks like Sharkboy's missing brother but with four arms and the other that is Zoro Pepe Grievous or something like that. It's a very interesting idea but poorly executed, couldn't it be like before confirming your selection you get a choice of which variation you want just like in Mortal Kombat X? Still though it's not to say that most of these characters or their variations aren't bad. As for the designs of the characters they're good, except for King Apu or as I like to call him "Discount Thanos *ding* +1 sin". Another problem I have for this character roster is the fact there lacks a lot of sword based characters. In fact take away all of the third party characters and you have no weapon based characters and also the third party brawlers don't get their own character variations, so sad. As for the animations on these characters, it looks nice. Nothing choppy or sloppy, but nice. [h1]Lootboxes[/h1] Before buying a game I like to check to see what reviews pop up from these games just to make sure my hard earned cash doesn't go into the trash. Thankfully Steam has a refund policy so that I can get my money back without any violence. From what I read, people did not like the game because of the fact that there was lootboxes in the game. Well... I can't say that they were lying because there are lootboxes in this game but you don't need to use any special currency to unlock them nor that you can use real money to buy the in-game currency. Currency in-game is unlocked through playing the game. However, it will take you FOREVER to get a lot of this stuff, it will be a bore. The lootboxes contain a shitload of stuff. This includes: avatars, KO effects, character colors and character variations. While you can unlock character variations through leveling up (which I'll talk about later") you cannot unlock their colors they have, which is a pain in the butt. It's also worth mentioning that you're not unlocking lootboxes, instead they're pinatas. There's flamingo pinatas which it gives you avatars and emojis, it's costs cheap. There's the Llama pinatas which gives you character colors and character variations. Lastly there's the unicorn pinatas that looks like that white unicorn plush doll from despicable me, that pinatas gives you the fancy KO effects or something like that. You can also get Llama pinatas through completing single player towers. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] The gameplay is your traditional super smash bros. gameplay, nothing different like what playstation all-stars battle royale offered. The game also has a rage meter of some kind, as you keep on fighting or take damage your rage meter builds up. Once it fully builds up, you can use it to boost your strength and speed sorta like what the God of War trilogy had or something like that... but without the invincibility. Many of the characters aren't that overpowered, I had a fun time playing as Chief feathers, Paco, The Drifter and Yooka-Laylee. There's also a leveling up mechanic in this game, sorta like what playstation all stars battle royale had. You can unlock character variations by leveling up your characters, however leveling up your character is so annoying. It would take you like over 100 games to level up your characters and unlock their variations, pain in the butt. Playstation allstars battle royale did it a lot better even though that game had a shitload of DLCs. I also love the pause menu, every time you pause the game, the music gets suppressed or something like that. When you unpause the game you get a 3,2,1 thing sorta like what those mobile endless runner game only it's Are, you, ready? It's a nice touch, I like it. You're also unable to change the game around, that means you're force to play with stock and a time limit. Something I don't like about the game. Also the taunting is emoticons, no animations, just emoticons. Lastly you cannot shield in this game, so good luck to any diehard super smash bros fanboys out there who probably did not buy this game and instead waited for super smash bros. ultimate. [h1]SFX, Soundtrack and voice acting[/h1] The punching sound effects are very... satisfying to listen to? I know they're obvious stock punching sound effects that you would find on youtube. Depending on your point of view, you might find these sounds fun to listen to or very irritating to hear over and over again. As for the soundtrack, it sounds good. Most of the songs go well with the maps. As for the voice acting... well there isn't really that much voice acting at all, no grunting, no KO sounds, no dialogue spoken out, no catchphrases. Barely do you hear any grunt or noises coming out of the characters. At least it's not as annoying as bayonetta's bitch screaming.... fuck you I hate her screaming in Smash Wii U [h1]Lore[/h1] Just like Icons: Combat Arena there is really isn't enough details about the world build for brawlout. I really don't know why these characters are fighting, where they're from, why they have this brawlout tournament, where this is all taking place, where these locations are and how they fit in with the story of the game. Not only that, but during the single player tower mode, every time you're about to fight a character it brings up some dialogue sorta like what Mortal Kombat X or Injustice 2 did. But it does it really poorly, I guess it's for the fans to figure out the explanation behind this or something like that, I don't know, the story really doesn't matter to be honest since there is really no story mode in this game. Just endings... sorta like what mortal kombat had. [h1]Controls[/h1] The controls are average, just like playstation all stars and brawlhalla (which that game will be reviewed at another time) you jump with a press of a button. Not hitting up on the D-Pad, just a press of a button. It will probably confuse a lot of you that are familiar with playing super smash bros. for me I can get use to it. Other than that the controls are responsive. Which is good. [h1]Conclusion[/h1] Just like Icons: Combat Arena, this game could've been something. I wouldn't say it's bad as Icons: Combat Arena as there is a lot fun to have in this game. It's just poorly executed is what it is. It isn't early access so I can't say they cannot fix the game, but what I could say is that if they ever make a sequel, they need make better than it's predecessor. This includes making unlockables easier to unlock, improving the leveling up system, add more details to the lore and adding a story mode. Other than it's decent.

  TL;DR: Don't let the Super Smash Bros. fanboys get you down. The game is VASTLY more polished than you would expect based on the reviews. [The store page is even a bit behind on polish and features as of writing this]. My only genuine complaint is there's not quite as much content as I would like. 7.5/10 with potential. Listen, I rarely write reviews, but I feel like I owe it to the devs on this one. My friends and I have been looking for a smash-like. Let's not kid ourselves here, it's what most of us are after if we're here. We were spurred by the fun we had with Lethal League, but ultimately when LL:Blaze came out, we decided the game had too many shortcomings to invest in a sequel. After we all spent much too long fanning through the store countless times, I finally doubled my IQ, landing at an even 2, and googled "Super Smash Bros Replacement PC". Bam, this game pops up at like, the #7 spot on some list I don't even care to dig up. Immediately skeptical seeing as it's "Mixed", and a cautious buyer as it is, I'll be honest in saying that the only reason I picked it up was because it was on sale, and I was desperate. But it was definitely worth a buy. The fighters feel unique (Though you can normally sum them up by mashing together a few Smash characters, but hey, it's not like Smash INVENTED fighting.) The controls are tight, gameplay feels great, and my friends and I have had a great time. I typically can't even play singleplayer games, but I've felt compelled enough to do the solo arcade mode. My only real complaint is that there is a lack of content. There's REALLY only 9 [soon 10] fighters, but they all feel fresh and fun and to their credit; the variants do tweak the gameplay of the original fighter enough to have a place in the game. I just wouldn't call them a separate character. More importantly I feel, is the lack of map variance. Most of the maps are non-detailed: --___-- Type maps. It is more than okay to have these in the game, [and in fact, one of the maps we enjoy the most is literally just flat and extends into the out-of-bounds area], but there is basically no creative map design, and nothing like an editor to do it yourself. Overall, the game is a 7.5/10, and could easily be a 9/10 with more content.
